  • Vehicle Specific

Install your Curt electric trailer brake controller quickly and easily with this custom wiring adapter. Simply plug one end of the adapter into your brake controller and then plug the other end into the built-in port beneath your vehicle's dash.


Features:

  • Plug-in wiring adapter allows for quick, simple installation of your electric trailer brake controller
  • No cutting or splicing required
    • Custom connector end plugs into the built-in port beneath the dash of your vehicle
    • Other end plugs into the back of your electric brake controller
  • Compatible with time-delayed and proportional brake controllers from Curt
    • Brake controller must have built-in plug for adapter to connect - will not work on controllers with pigtail wiring harnesses
  • 2' Long, 12-gauge wires have protective covering to deter damage
  • Limited 1-year warranty


Installation of Curt Brake Controller Adapter

To install your Curt electric brake controller, you need to connect the wiring of the controller to your vehicle. Certain auto manufacturers offer pre-wired options, typically known as tow packages, wherein wiring is run for you from the dash to the trailer connector on the back of your vehicle. When this is done, a port is installed at your dash so that you can easily plug in a brake controller.


This adapter plugs into the port on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. The harness is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, and it is taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal.


No hardwiring is required to install this adapter. After you plug it into the factory port, you simply plug the other end of the adapter directly into your electric trailer brake controller. Because there are no wires to connect, installation is not permanent. You can unplug and remove your brake controller at any time to transfer it to another vehicle or securely stow it away.

  • Installing an Electric Trailer Brake Controller in a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica
    Since you already have a 7-way trailer connector and a brake controller all you should need is the adapter to connect the controller. That's assuming the 7-way is factory installed. If you've installed it yourself, or had it installed aftermarket let me know. If it's a factory 7-way there's going to be a connector under the dash above the steering column not far from where it goes through the firewall. The connector you're looking for probably has a green cover over it. Once you find...

  • Parts Needed to Install the Curt Discovery Brake Controller # C51120 on a 2013 Dodge Durango
    The Curt Discovery Trailer Brake Controller, # C84VV, and the Custom Wiring Adapter, # C51446, will work on your 2013 Dodge Durango without splicing as long as your Durango came with a factory 7-way trailer connector at the trailer hitch. The 7-way trailer connector would indicate that your truck has the factory tow package, which would include a brake controller plug under the drivers side dash. You should see a gray connector just to the left of the steering column. If your Durango does...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness & Brake Control Wiring for 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee with/without Tow Package
    If your 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee does not have a trailer connector at the back but is pre-wired with the factory tow package then you can add a 4- and 7-Way connector using # HM40975-11933. Please note: It may be necessary to see a local Jeep dealer to activate the tow package wiring circuit. Models that did not come with the factory tow package would need to use # 118727 to add the 4-Way and then # ETBC7 to add the 7-Way. For a brake controller, if your Jeep did come with the factory...

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller Harness for a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee

  • Is the LED Brightness Adjustable on Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller
    The LED brightness in the control knob for the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR is not adjustable. However, the LED indicator brightness will reduce after you adjust the braking power or use the manual override. This is designed to be less intrusive on driver's vision at night. If you have the tow package on your 2020 Chrysler Pacifica you will also want the # RED77FR for installation. If you are still concerned about the brightness of the control knob you may also...

If you are using a Tekonsha Brake Controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 then you will use # TK93VR for your wiring harness. If you are using a Curt controller like # C74VV you will use harness # C51446. Finally if you are using a controller like the RedArc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR, then you will use the pigtail...

    You can absolutely move the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV from your 2016 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk to your new 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the factory tow package, but you will need a different plug in adapter. As long as the controller is still working fine there is no real benefit in replacing it.

  • Is There a Brake Controller Adapter Plug for 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L
    Yes, there is a brake controller plug under the dash on a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. I recommend using the Curt Echo Under-Dash Trailer Brake Controller part # C27JR with the Curt Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers part # C51446. The Curt Echo installs behind the dash so there is no drilling into the vehicle nor do you have to worry about taking up leg room. It uses your mobile phone for setup. The adapter then makes for a plug-in-play install.

  • Easiest Plug and Play Brake Controller For a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    The Curt Echo Under-Dash Bluetooth Brake Controller # C27JR will provide you with one of the easiest installations as the Pigtail # C51446 will connect it to your factory wiring. And unlike other controllers there is no dash mounted controller or knob so everything simply gets secured under your dash. Then you will control the settings for it with your smart phone using the OneControl app.

    Yes, the Curt TriFlex Brake Controller, # C24VV, and the Custom Wiring Adapter, # C51446, will work with your 2014 Dodge Durango and your 2010 Coachmen 290BHS travel trailer. Since your Durango has the factory tow package, the installation will be easy with the plug-in custom wiring adapter. The TriFlex brake controller was designed to work with trailers with up to 4 axles and 8 brake assemblies and it is compatible with electric and electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes.

  • Can I Install a Curt Spectrum on a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee with Factory Tow Package
    You've got nothing to worry about on this one. Brake controllers are fairly universal, so you will be able to use the Curt Spectrum # C51170 in your 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Additionally, since you have the factory tow package you can use the # C51446 as the plug and play adapter to make this an easy installation. I was able to confirm this for you with my contact at Curt.

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L With Tow Package
    For your 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR. This is a simple and reliable brake controller that won't take up space in the cab of your Jeep. The main unit installs behind the dash with only the control knob visible for a nice clean look. The knob controls the braking power and acts as the manual override. For a plug and play installation you can use the Curt # C51446 wiring harness along with the adapter # 331-TPH-019.

You will need the Wiring Adapter # C51446 to connect to the factory connector under your dash for a plug and play installation. You will control the Curt Echo from your smartphone using the Curt Echo app while the main unit is mounted behind your dash. This means no controllers on the dash or holes to drill in your dash.

If you want to go with the Curt Venturer, # C74VV, then the only other part you will need is wiring harness # C51446. I have included a link to the installation details for you. The wiring harness plugs into a connector already on your vehicle. The connector is located underneath the dash,...

  • Time-Delayed Brake Controller Recommendation for 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with Tow Package
    Time-delayed type brake controllers offer the convenience of more flexible mounting positions than do the generally better-performing proportional type, but proportional types will do a better job of stopping the trailer in unison with the Grand Cherokee. Proportional brake controllers also offer the benefit of reducing wear on both the trailer's and the vehicle's brakes. More info on this is included in the linked article on brake controllers.
